<p>Hi guys, on Friday I got a letter from NYU. It said I got rejected to the CAS but got into the Liberal Studies Program. I was really confused since I applied early and was supposed to be finding out on December 15th, so this was actually about 3 weeks early. I was initially upset, but ended up doing a lot of research on it. I think can basically follow the same course (Pre-Health) as I would if I got into the CAS but I just have to take a couple of liberal arts classes or something...I'm not too sure. Is anyone a part of the program right now. Can anyone give me any extra information? All the help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!</p>
<p>well from what I've heard LSP is pretty good.. its just like where you take required classes for a year or two, then you transfer into whatever you originally wanted to do (i.e. Gallatin, CAS, etc.) which i hear is ridiculously easy to do.</p>
<p>Most people here would kill for LSP!</p>
<p>I also got into LSP and I'm also doing Pre-med.</p>
<p>hold up, does this mean we are in for sure?!</p>
<p>If you received a letter, inviting you to LSP, yes, you're in for sure. Just make sure you follow the instructions and reply back asking for the official admissions letter.</p>
<p>LSP is the second largest undergraduate class - about 1000 students. CAS is first. As I said on the RD to GSP thread, my daughter is a freshman in LSP and is very pleased. She did go back to NYU yesterday, but I'm sure she still would be happy to answer any questions.</p>

<p>londonb I was just admitted into the liberal studies program and just looking at the class sizes it seems like its sort of similar to a high school setting. What does your daughter think of it? Is the smallness of it a positive aspect or negative aspect?</p>
<p>Positives: more attention, ability to build close relationships with professors (great for recommendations down the road), great interaction with classmates (a good thing in such a large school)</p>
<p>Negatives: can't snooze in the back of a large lecture hall, everyone knows your name...
can't skip (which my daughter claims she would never do )</p>
<p>londonb i also just got admitted into the liberal studies program and wanted to know which campus your daughter attends and if the tuition is the same cost</p>
<p>I just received an e-mail today from NYU saying that I have also been rejected from CAS but admitted to LSP. It's actually a surprise considering my stats were not that great.</p>
<p>Would you mind posting your stats? :)</p>
<p>I'll PM it instead. :)</p>
<p>Question: I called admissions on Tuesday to check if everything was in, they said it was " under comittee review" I think I have a good chance for LSP, would they have told me if a decision has been made? Could I still recieve a letter this week? I submitted my app in October.</p>
<p>Lilyalta, LSP decisions were still going out all through March last year. My daughter had applied in October also and didn't hear until late March. Keep thinking good thoughts!!</p>
<p>Bbbenihana, my daughter is at the New York campus but was offered the choice of NY, Florence and London. From the website I posted above, the costs look comparable (lodging could be more at the international sites - I'm using Florence as an example). You will have to pay airfare and your costs for all of the touring you are going to want to do. </p>
<p>Best of luck to you both!</p>
<p>I was offered only the international sites: London, Paris, or Florence. Hmm...</p>
<p>You were? Did you request the NYC site? If I have to go to an international site, I don't think I can go to NYU :-/</p>
<p>From last year, I remember that quite a few internationals were only offered the international sites. </p>
<p>That does make it tougher as I'm sure you were eager to be in NY...</p>
<p>Yeah, it's hard to start in NYC as a sophomore when everyone has made friends and I just came back from abroad. But I don't really mind I guess. I'll meet my own friends from the international sites, lol.</p>
<p>What, they only offered you the international sites? Ah, that's gay. But you'll meet a lot of NYU students in those other sights anyway :)</p>
